He breaks them all.&nbsp;\u201d This phrase is lived by thousands of parents. Not because their child is particularly rebellious \u2014 but because rules about screens are often poorly designed, poorly set, or poorly enforced. Not out of a lack of goodwill. But out of a lack of tools.<\/pee>\n<pee>Setting effective limits on screens is not a matter of brute authority. It\u2019s a matter of clarity, consistency, co-construction \u2014 and understanding what happens neurologically when asking a teenager to interrupt a highly stimulating activity. This guide provides concrete tools \u2014 not magic recipes, but levers that work.<\/pee>\n<h2 id=\"pourquoi-regles\">1. Why rules are necessary \u2014 even at 16<\/h2>\n<pee>A parent setting limits on screens for a 15 or 16-year-old often hears: \u201c&nbsp;I\u2019m old enough to decide for myself.&nbsp;\u201d This is partially true \u2014 and totally false regarding screens. The ability to autonomously regulate impulses \u2014 located in the prefrontal cortex \u2014 is not mature until about 25 years old. Asking a 16-year-old to regulate their use of an app designed by entire teams of engineers to create addiction is asking them to win alone against a system designed to make them lose.<\/pee>\n<pee>Parental rules do not indicate a lack of trust in the teenager. They compensate for normal neurological immaturity and counterbalance a deliberately addictive design. Explaining this to the teenager \u2014 with the words from article #1 in this series \u2014 often changes the dynamic of the conversation about rules.<\/pee>\n<h2 id=\"ecueils\">2. The 4 mistakes that make rules ineffective<\/h2>\n<div class=\"regle-card\">\n<h4>\u274c Mistake 1 \u2014 Vague rules<\/h4>\n<pee>\u201c&nbsp;Not too much screen time.&nbsp;\u201d \u201c&nbsp;Stop at a reasonable hour.&nbsp;\u201d These rules don\u2019t work because they are not defined. Everyone interprets \u201c&nbsp;reasonable&nbsp;\u201d according to what suits them. An effective rule is precise&nbsp;: time, duration, place, context.<\/pee>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"regle-card\">\n<h4>\u274c Mistake 2 \u2014 Rules imposed without explanation<\/h4>\n<pee>A rule without explanation is experienced as an arbitrary authority whim \u2014 to be circumvented as soon as possible. A rule accompanied by a simple neurobiological explanation (\u201c&nbsp;blue light delays sleep by 2 hours&nbsp;\u201d) is understood differently \u2014 even if it is not always appreciated.<\/pee>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"regle-card\">\n<h4>\u274c Mistake 3 \u2014 Inconsistent rules<\/h4>\n<pee>A parent who asks the teenager to put down their phone during dinner while checking their emails at the table loses all credibility. The teenager observes and draws conclusions. Adult consistency is the condition for the legitimacy of the rules.<\/pee>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"regle-card\">\n<h4>\u274c Mistake 4 \u2014 Rules without consequences<\/h4>\n<pee>A rule broken without consequence is not a rule \u2014 it\u2019s a suggestion. Consequences must be defined in advance, known to the teenager, proportionate, and applied consistently. The unpredictability of sanctions destabilizes more than it educates.<\/pee>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"regles-non-negociables\">3. Non-negotiable rules: the minimal foundation<\/h2>\n<pee>Some rules are non-negotiable \u2014 not because the adult decided arbitrarily, but because research shows they have a direct impact on the physical and mental health of the teenager. These rules can be presented as biological facts rather than authoritarian injunctions.<\/pee>\n<div class=\"key-points\">\n<h3>\u2726 The non-negotiable minimal foundation<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>No screens in the bedroom at night<\/strong> \u2014 the phone and tablet charge in a common room. Non-negotiable, regardless of age. Direct and proven impact on sleep.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No screens during family meals<\/strong> \u2014 phones placed face down or in another room. This rule also applies to adults \u2014 it\u2019s a family rule, not a teenager rule.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No screens during homework<\/strong> \u2014 no phone within reach during school work time. Simply seeing the phone \u2014 even when off \u2014 reduces available cognitive capacities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Parental access to minors&#8217; accounts<\/strong> \u2014 for teenagers under 15, parents have the right and responsibility to know the platforms used and to access them if necessary. To be formalized at the creation of accounts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"negotiables\">4. What can be negotiated with the teenager<\/h2>\n<pee>Outside of this foundation, many things can \u2014 and should \u2014 be negotiated with the teenager to gain their real buy-in. The curfew in the evening (within a range defined by the parents), screen time on weekends, allowed platforms, the terms of retrieving the phone in the morning \u2014 all these rules are more effective when the teenager has participated in them.<\/pee>\n<div class=\"article-quote\">\n  <pee>\u201c&nbsp;When my parents asked me what seemed fair, I said 11 PM. They thought I would say midnight. We agreed on 10:30 PM as a compromise. And I respected it because it was my idea too.&nbsp;\u201d<\/pee>\n<div class=\"quote-author\">\u2014 Mathieu, 16 years old, high school student<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"contrat\">5. The family digital contract: how to build it<\/h2>\n<div class=\"contrat-box\">\n<h4>\ud83d\udccb Structure of a family digital contract<\/h4>\n<div class=\"contrat-item\">\n<div class=\"contrat-item-num\">1<\/div>\n<pee><strong>The non-negotiable rules<\/strong> \u2014 factually formulated with their justification (\u201c&nbsp;the phone charges in the hallway after 10 PM because blue light delays sleep by 2 hours&nbsp;\u201d)<\/pee>\n  <\/div>\n<div class=\"contrat-item\">\n<div class=\"contrat-item-num\">2<\/div>\n<pee><strong>The co-constructed rules<\/strong> \u2014 daily screen time on weekdays and weekends, allowed applications, gaming hours, terms of retrieving the phone in the morning<\/pee>\n  <\/div>\n<div class=\"contrat-item\">\n<div class=\"contrat-item-num\">3<\/div>\n<pee><strong>The mutual commitments of adults<\/strong> \u2014 what parents commit to doing (not checking their emails at the table, not interrupting a game without notice, respecting scheduled playtime)<\/pee>\n  <\/div>\n<div class=\"contrat-item\">\n<div class=\"contrat-item-num\">4<\/div>\n<pee><strong>The consequences in case of non-compliance<\/strong> \u2014 defined in advance, proportionate, known to all. Example&nbsp;: a breach of the evening rule \u2192 phone retrieved 30 minutes earlier the next day.<\/pee>\n  <\/div>\n<div class=\"contrat-item\">\n<div class=\"contrat-item-num\">5<\/div>\n<pee><strong>A review date<\/strong> \u2014 in 3 months, we will reassess together what works and what doesn\u2019t. This clause shows that the contract is alive, not fixed.<\/pee>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"outils-tech\">6. Technological parental control tools: useful or not?<\/h2>\n<pee>Parental control apps (Screen Time on iOS, Digital Wellbeing on Android, or third-party apps) can be useful tools \u2014 but they do not replace rules and relationships. Used as the only lever, they often trigger a technological arms race \u2014 the teenager finds ways to circumvent them, parents tighten restrictions, trust erodes.<\/pee>\n<div class=\"soft-box\">\n  <pee><strong>The recommended use of parental control&nbsp;:<\/strong> as a safety net and as a conversation tool \u2014 not as surveillance. \u201c&nbsp;I activated Screen Time so we can both see how much time you spend on each app. Not to judge you \u2014 so we can talk about it together.&nbsp;\u201d This transparent approach is much more effective than hidden surveillance which, when discovered, destroys trust.<\/pee>\n  <pee>For 12-14 year olds, automatic technical limits make sense. For 16-18 year olds, the challenge is to develop self-regulation \u2014 technology can support this growing autonomy rather than replace it.<\/pee>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"crises\">7. Managing crises when a rule is broken<\/h2>\n<pee>Every rule will eventually be broken \u2014 that\u2019s normal. The question is not to avoid all transgressions, but to know how to respond in a way that reinforces the rule without damaging the relationship.<\/pee>\n<pee>Two classic mistakes to avoid&nbsp;: the disproportionate reaction in emotion (immediate confiscation of all screens for a week \u2014 a punishment that won\u2019t hold and undermines credibility), and the absence of consequence (letting it slide creates a precedent and empties the rule of its meaning). The right response is the one outlined in the contract \u2014 applied calmly, without dramatization, with a reminder of the rule and its justification.<\/pee>\n<h2 id=\"coherence\">8. Adult consistency: applying what we ask<\/h2>\n<pee>The effectiveness of rules about screens is directly proportional to the consistency of the adults who set them. A teacher who asks students to put away their phones while checking their own during class. A parent who prohibits screens during dinner while responding to emails at the table. These inconsistencies are immediately perceived by teenagers \u2014 and invalidate the rules they accompany.<\/pee>\n<div class=\"parent-box\">\n<div class=\"parent-box-label\">\ud83d\udc68\u200d\ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83d\udc67 For parents \u2014 mutual commitment<\/div>\n<div class=\"parent-box-title\">\u201c&nbsp;The rules apply to everyone at home.&nbsp;\u201d<\/div>\n<pee>Explicitly stating in the family contract the commitments of parents \u2014 no phones at the table, no screens after 10 PM in common areas, no checking emails during family time \u2014 transforms the rules from an adult-child injunction into a family agreement. The teenager respects rules that also apply to their parents much more.<\/pee>\n<div class=\"prof-box\">\n<div class=\"prof-box-title\">\u2726 For teachers \u2014 consistency in class<\/div>\n<pee>Setting a clear rule about phones in class \u2014 and applying it to oneself during the lesson. If the teacher checks their phone while students are working, the rule loses its legitimacy. Adult consistency is the condition for educational authority.<\/pee>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"ecole-regles\">9. Rules at school: between prohibition and pedagogy<\/h2>\n<pee>The question of phones at school has been the subject of lively debates in institutions for several years. A complete ban (stored in the bag or locker all day) has been adopted in many middle schools \u2014 with documented positive results on the school climate and social interactions during breaks. In high school, practices are more variable and students are older, making total prohibition more complex to enforce.<\/pee>\n<pee>Beyond the prohibition rule, schools can adopt a complementary pedagogical approach \u2014 training students to understand the mechanics of platforms, developing a culture of attention and voluntary disconnection, and creating spaces for discussion about digital usage. These two approaches (rule + pedagogy) are complementary and more effective together than separately.<\/pee>\n<h2 id=\"long-terme\">10. Sustaining in the long term: adjusting without capitulating<\/h2>\n<pee>Rules about screens are not set in stone. They evolve with the age of the teenager, with their gradually developing regulatory abilities, and with changes in context (exams, greater autonomy). The key is to distinguish thoughtful adjustment \u2014 \u201c&nbsp;you are 17, you are more autonomous, we can revisit gaming hours&nbsp;\u201d \u2014 from capitulation under pressure \u2014 \u201c&nbsp;fine, do what you want&nbsp;\u201d after a crisis.<\/pee>\n<pee>Parents who sustain the longest are those who combine firmness on the non-negotiable foundation and flexibility on the rest \u2014 and who maintain regular conversations with their teenager about their usage, their difficulties in regulating, and what works or doesn\u2019t in the established rules.<\/pee>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dynseo.com\/en\/courses\/screen-addiction-among-middle-and-high-school-students-understand-identify-and-take-action-en\/\" class=\"internal-link\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"internal-link-icon\">\ud83c\udf93<\/div>\n<div class=\"internal-link-content\">\n<div class=\"internal-link-label\">Certified training<\/div>\n<div class=\"internal-link-title\">Screen addiction among middle and high school students: understanding, spotting, and acting<\/div>\n<div class=\"internal-link-desc\">DYNSEO Qualiopi training \u2014 concrete rules, family contract, parental posture, role of educational teams.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"internal-link-arrow\">\u2192<\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"cta-box\">\n<h3>\ud83c\udf93 Train your team to support families<\/h3>\n<pee>The DYNSEO training \u201c&nbsp;Screen addiction among middle and high school students&nbsp;\u201d provides the tools to support families in establishing effective rules.

He breaks them all.&nbsp;\u201d This phrase is lived by thousands of parents. Not because their child is particularly rebellious \u2014 but because rules about screens are often poorly designed, poorly set, or poorly enforced. Not out of a lack of goodwill. But out of a lack of tools.<\/p>\n\n<p>Setting effective limits on screens is not a matter of brute authority. It\u2019s a matter of clarity, consistency, co-construction \u2014 and understanding what happens neurologically when asking a teenager to interrupt a highly stimulating activity. This guide provides concrete tools \u2014 not magic recipes, but levers that work.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"pourquoi-regles\">1. Why rules are necessary \u2014 even at 16<\/h2>\n\n<p>A parent setting limits on screens for a 15 or 16-year-old often hears: \u201c&nbsp;I\u2019m old enough to decide for myself.&nbsp;\u201d This is partially true \u2014 and totally false regarding screens. The ability to autonomously regulate impulses \u2014 located in the prefrontal cortex \u2014 is not mature until about 25 years old. Asking a 16-year-old to regulate their use of an app designed by entire teams of engineers to create addiction is asking them to win alone against a system designed to make them lose.<\/p>\n\n<p>Parental rules do not indicate a lack of trust in the teenager. They compensate for normal neurological immaturity and counterbalance a deliberately addictive design. Explaining this to the teenager \u2014 with the words from article #1 in this series \u2014 often changes the dynamic of the conversation about rules.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"ecueils\">2. The 4 mistakes that make rules ineffective<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"regle-card\">\n  <h4>\u274c Mistake 1 \u2014 Vague rules<\/h4>\n  <p>\u201c&nbsp;Not too much screen time.&nbsp;\u201d \u201c&nbsp;Stop at a reasonable hour.&nbsp;\u201d These rules don\u2019t work because they are not defined. Everyone interprets \u201c&nbsp;reasonable&nbsp;\u201d according to what suits them. An effective rule is precise&nbsp;: time, duration, place, context.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"regle-card\">\n  <h4>\u274c Mistake 2 \u2014 Rules imposed without explanation<\/h4>\n  <p>A rule without explanation is experienced as an arbitrary authority whim \u2014 to be circumvented as soon as possible. A rule accompanied by a simple neurobiological explanation (\u201c&nbsp;blue light delays sleep by 2 hours&nbsp;\u201d) is understood differently \u2014 even if it is not always appreciated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"regle-card\">\n  <h4>\u274c Mistake 3 \u2014 Inconsistent rules<\/h4>\n  <p>A parent who asks the teenager to put down their phone during dinner while checking their emails at the table loses all credibility. The teenager observes and draws conclusions. Adult consistency is the condition for the legitimacy of the rules.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"regle-card\">\n  <h4>\u274c Mistake 4 \u2014 Rules without consequences<\/h4>\n  <p>A rule broken without consequence is not a rule \u2014 it\u2019s a suggestion. Consequences must be defined in advance, known to the teenager, proportionate, and applied consistently. The unpredictability of sanctions destabilizes more than it educates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 id=\"regles-non-negociables\">3. Non-negotiable rules: the minimal foundation<\/h2>\n\n<p>Some rules are non-negotiable \u2014 not because the adult decided arbitrarily, but because research shows they have a direct impact on the physical and mental health of the teenager. These rules can be presented as biological facts rather than authoritarian injunctions.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"key-points\">\n  <h3>\u2726 The non-negotiable minimal foundation<\/h3>\n  <ul>\n    <li><strong>No screens in the bedroom at night<\/strong> \u2014 the phone and tablet charge in a common room. Non-negotiable, regardless of age. Direct and proven impact on sleep.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>No screens during family meals<\/strong> \u2014 phones placed face down or in another room. This rule also applies to adults \u2014 it\u2019s a family rule, not a teenager rule.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>No screens during homework<\/strong> \u2014 no phone within reach during school work time. Simply seeing the phone \u2014 even when off \u2014 reduces available cognitive capacities.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Parental access to minors' accounts<\/strong> \u2014 for teenagers under 15, parents have the right and responsibility to know the platforms used and to access them if necessary. To be formalized at the creation of accounts.<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 id=\"negotiables\">4. What can be negotiated with the teenager<\/h2>\n\n<p>Outside of this foundation, many things can \u2014 and should \u2014 be negotiated with the teenager to gain their real buy-in. The curfew in the evening (within a range defined by the parents), screen time on weekends, allowed platforms, the terms of retrieving the phone in the morning \u2014 all these rules are more effective when the teenager has participated in them.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"article-quote\">\n  <p>\u201c&nbsp;When my parents asked me what seemed fair, I said 11 PM. They thought I would say midnight. We agreed on 10:30 PM as a compromise. And I respected it because it was my idea too.&nbsp;\u201d<\/p>\n  <div class=\"quote-author\">\u2014 Mathieu, 16 years old, high school student<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 id=\"contrat\">5. The family digital contract: how to build it<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"contrat-box\">\n  <h4>\ud83d\udccb Structure of a family digital contract<\/h4>\n  <div class=\"contrat-item\">\n    <div class=\"contrat-item-num\">1<\/div>\n    <p><strong>The non-negotiable rules<\/strong> \u2014 factually formulated with their justification (\u201c&nbsp;the phone charges in the hallway after 10 PM because blue light delays sleep by 2 hours&nbsp;\u201d)<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"contrat-item\">\n    <div class=\"contrat-item-num\">2<\/div>\n    <p><strong>The co-constructed rules<\/strong> \u2014 daily screen time on weekdays and weekends, allowed applications, gaming hours, terms of retrieving the phone in the morning<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"contrat-item\">\n    <div class=\"contrat-item-num\">3<\/div>\n    <p><strong>The mutual commitments of adults<\/strong> \u2014 what parents commit to doing (not checking their emails at the table, not interrupting a game without notice, respecting scheduled playtime)<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"contrat-item\">\n    <div class=\"contrat-item-num\">4<\/div>\n    <p><strong>The consequences in case of non-compliance<\/strong> \u2014 defined in advance, proportionate, known to all. Example&nbsp;: a breach of the evening rule \u2192 phone retrieved 30 minutes earlier the next day.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"contrat-item\">\n    <div class=\"contrat-item-num\">5<\/div>\n    <p><strong>A review date<\/strong> \u2014 in 3 months, we will reassess together what works and what doesn\u2019t. This clause shows that the contract is alive, not fixed.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 id=\"outils-tech\">6. Technological parental control tools: useful or not?<\/h2>\n\n<p>Parental control apps (Screen Time on iOS, Digital Wellbeing on Android, or third-party apps) can be useful tools \u2014 but they do not replace rules and relationships. Used as the only lever, they often trigger a technological arms race \u2014 the teenager finds ways to circumvent them, parents tighten restrictions, trust erodes.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"soft-box\">\n  <p><strong>The recommended use of parental control&nbsp;:<\/strong> as a safety net and as a conversation tool \u2014 not as surveillance. \u201c&nbsp;I activated Screen Time so we can both see how much time you spend on each app. Not to judge you \u2014 so we can talk about it together.&nbsp;\u201d This transparent approach is much more effective than hidden surveillance which, when discovered, destroys trust.<\/p>\n  <p>For 12-14 year olds, automatic technical limits make sense. For 16-18 year olds, the challenge is to develop self-regulation \u2014 technology can support this growing autonomy rather than replace it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 id=\"crises\">7. Managing crises when a rule is broken<\/h2>\n\n<p>Every rule will eventually be broken \u2014 that\u2019s normal. The question is not to avoid all transgressions, but to know how to respond in a way that reinforces the rule without damaging the relationship.<\/p>\n\n<p>Two classic mistakes to avoid&nbsp;: the disproportionate reaction in emotion (immediate confiscation of all screens for a week \u2014 a punishment that won\u2019t hold and undermines credibility), and the absence of consequence (letting it slide creates a precedent and empties the rule of its meaning). The right response is the one outlined in the contract \u2014 applied calmly, without dramatization, with a reminder of the rule and its justification.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"coherence\">8. Adult consistency: applying what we ask<\/h2>\n\n<p>The effectiveness of rules about screens is directly proportional to the consistency of the adults who set them. A teacher who asks students to put away their phones while checking their own during class. A parent who prohibits screens during dinner while responding to emails at the table. These inconsistencies are immediately perceived by teenagers \u2014 and invalidate the rules they accompany.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"parent-box\">\n  <div class=\"parent-box-label\">\ud83d\udc68\u200d\ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83d\udc67 For parents \u2014 mutual commitment<\/div>\n  <div class=\"parent-box-title\">\u201c&nbsp;The rules apply to everyone at home.&nbsp;\u201d<\/div>\n  <p>Explicitly stating in the family contract the commitments of parents \u2014 no phones at the table, no screens after 10 PM in common areas, no checking emails during family time \u2014 transforms the rules from an adult-child injunction into a family agreement. The teenager respects rules that also apply to their parents much more.<\/p>\n  <div class=\"prof-box\">\n    <div class=\"prof-box-title\">\u2726 For teachers \u2014 consistency in class<\/div>\n    <p>Setting a clear rule about phones in class \u2014 and applying it to oneself during the lesson. If the teacher checks their phone while students are working, the rule loses its legitimacy. Adult consistency is the condition for educational authority.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 id=\"ecole-regles\">9. Rules at school: between prohibition and pedagogy<\/h2>\n\n<p>The question of phones at school has been the subject of lively debates in institutions for several years. A complete ban (stored in the bag or locker all day) has been adopted in many middle schools \u2014 with documented positive results on the school climate and social interactions during breaks. In high school, practices are more variable and students are older, making total prohibition more complex to enforce.<\/p>\n\n<p>Beyond the prohibition rule, schools can adopt a complementary pedagogical approach \u2014 training students to understand the mechanics of platforms, developing a culture of attention and voluntary disconnection, and creating spaces for discussion about digital usage. These two approaches (rule + pedagogy) are complementary and more effective together than separately.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"long-terme\">10. Sustaining in the long term: adjusting without capitulating<\/h2>\n\n<p>Rules about screens are not set in stone. They evolve with the age of the teenager, with their gradually developing regulatory abilities, and with changes in context (exams, greater autonomy). The key is to distinguish thoughtful adjustment \u2014 \u201c&nbsp;you are 17, you are more autonomous, we can revisit gaming hours&nbsp;\u201d \u2014 from capitulation under pressure \u2014 \u201c&nbsp;fine, do what you want&nbsp;\u201d after a crisis.<\/p>\n\n<p>Parents who sustain the longest are those who combine firmness on the non-negotiable foundation and flexibility on the rest \u2014 and who maintain regular conversations with their teenager about their usage, their difficulties in regulating, and what works or doesn\u2019t in the established rules.<\/p>\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dynseo.com\/courses\/addiction-aux-ecrans-chez-les-collegiens-et-lyceens-comprendre-reperer-et-agir\/\" class=\"internal-link\">\n  <div class=\"internal-link-icon\">\ud83c\udf93<\/div>\n  <div class=\"internal-link-content\">\n    <div class=\"internal-link-label\">Certified training<\/div>\n    <div class=\"internal-link-title\">Screen addiction among middle and high school students: understanding, spotting, and acting<\/div>\n    <div class=\"internal-link-desc\">DYNSEO Qualiopi training \u2014 concrete rules, family contract, parental posture, role of educational teams.<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"internal-link-arrow\">\u2192<\/div>\n<\/a>\n\n<div class=\"cta-box\">\n  <h3>\ud83c\udf93 Train your team to support families<\/h3>\n  <p>The DYNSEO training \u201c&nbsp;Screen addiction among middle and high school students&nbsp;\u201d provides the tools to support families in establishing effective rules.
